“Your persecution complex is revealing. Did anyone say you’re not allowed to complain about crime? Think a little, Daniel. This web site isn’t some public square where you have full 1A freedom of speech rights; this is a personal blog where I don’t have to allow anyone to say anything. Yet even though I disagree with almost everything you say, I’m not stopping you from complaining, am I?”

I see, I can complain all I want, but it is silly doing so unless there is a SEAL team and drones after me. Unless I am “cowering behind cover because of all the gunfire on the street” (in fact, I probably should be doing that right now with all those wife-killers and killer-killers at large, you know), I am to pretend American violence statistics are not shocking. By the same token, why do you need car insurance ? Has your car ever spontaneously combusted when you were behind the steering wheel? Are you covering behind cover because of those Christine-like cars (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christine_(novel))? Are you chicken?

“You have no ability whatsoever to argue logically. Your attempt to paint my comments as blaming rape victims for being raped are pathetic”

Well, I am told American violence statistics are great, thanks (from a “voluntary society point of view”, according to a fellow traveler of yours-yep, I can’t see anthing more voluntary than being raped and/or being murdered…). Yet, we lead the developed world in homicides and rapes. Which “violent” crimes are those in UK (example provided by your fellow traveler) are troubling the guns crowd? Bad cooking and poor dental hygiene? I am told countries with strict guns legislation are violent hellholes compared to this little NRA paradise of ours. If not homicide and rape,what are we talking about? Jaywalking and badmouthing? Again, if not the almost infinite supply of tools of death, why America is the outlier among all rich countries? Is Obama? Is the water? And you must be fair to me, after you creatively solved the homicides issue attributing it to people letting themselves to be killed for the sake of their lifestyles, I thought you would solve the second problem (rapes statistics) thus.

” I’m not saying the deaths of criminals distort our crime stats. I’m saying many murder victims are criminals who died as a result of their lifestyles, not innocent people.”

Among the wives and criminals of this world of ours, American ones are the only ones with Walt-Disney-lemming-like self-preservation instinct. How convenient, they got an infinite supply of firearms to help them being killed (I am not sure it is wise to make guns readily avaiable in a country where husbands allegedly have a penchant for killing their better halves). By the way, you keep dodging this issue, why not bazzokas and tactical nuclear weapons? They are every bit as “arms” as the Colts, M16s and Kalashnikovs our Founding Fathers also hadn’t in mind because they didn’t exist back then.

“We lose about 30,000 people per year to gun violence. About 20,000 are suicides, which in general are no danger to the public. Of the remaining 10,000, a large percentage are either targeted domestic violence murders or criminals being killed by criminals.”

You are just restating (at the same time you pretend you are not) the same (false) thesis: American awful violence statistics are due clumsy criminals and clueless wives. We have every year about 3.2 firearm homicides per 100 000 inhabitants, 6 to 150 times higher than any other rich country (higher than India, Barbados, China, Chile, Bulgaria, Moldova etc.). Any insights on that? Are American wives the most shrew-like ones? Should be send our criminals to learn from Yakuza and Cosa Nostra, that we can stop dodging their corpses littering our streets (again, an American is 12 times more likely to be murdered than a Japanese- Japanese criminals being politer and Japanese women more selective, I guess )

“I don’t support murders. I support people’s right to defend themselves, from both crime and tyranny.”

Tell me when it starts working, will you? Quoting Ronald Reagan about economic promises from liberals: “Well, now, if government planning and welfare had the answer—and they’ve had almost 30 years of it—shouldn’t we expect government to read the score to us once in a while?” We lead the developed world in violent crime. If guns are the solution-and we have had centuries of that (albeit limited to white males, at first)- why is America one of the most violent countries on Earth?

Or do you live your life like everyone else, go where you want to go, do what you like to do, without getting shot? The vast majority of the murders you’re talking about are targeted; criminals killing criminals, and domestic abusers killing their partners. Those murders do not increase the chances that Joe Regular Guy will be shot down in the street.”

Wow, we really have lots of criminals, don’t we? Just their dead distort our homicide statistics! Twelve times more murders to inhabitant than Japan! It must be the water or Obama (or Bush). Maybe, we don’t have many criminals, ours are just clumsier than their European counterparts. By the way, we lead the rich countries in rapes, but I am sure the victims (like the murdered) asked for that, too. Self-defense, like Coke, is it! Be it far from me mentioning your cavalier attitute toward rampant (according to you, enough to distort our homicide statistics) domestic abuse leading to deaths. I can see why the Bible bothers you.
By the way, my Brazilian cousins (and their South African, Colombian and Venezuelan friends) live (or try to live) normal lives (despite knowing they live in a very violent country), but, to their credit, if someone tried to tell them clumsy criminals are the reason their country violence statistics seem so awful, there would be a fresh addition to those very statistics. Apparently, what you are saying is that, unless I am forced to play Anne Frank and hide in my basement, I have no business at all being sorry about the suffering and deaths of my own countrymen. Well, I am not allowed to complain about economic mismanagement, government waste, unemployment statistics and financial fraud because I am not starving. right? As a matter of fact, since most Soviet citizens survived Stalin and most Germans survived Hitler, no one is allowed to complain about anything (with the sole exception of gun lobbyists, they have the God-given right to complain about the country with the most permissive guns legislation in the civilized world)

“”If you think passing gun control laws will reduce gun crime, you don’t know criminals very well. Do you think they’ll all turn in their guns?”

At least, they will stop getting new ones-to your consternation, I fear. Their supply will dry up. When the police seizes a gun, it will not be immediately replaced by a newer, shinier, better gun.

“It’s forever, for the time when it’s needed. I’ve had car insurance for the last ten years, even though my last wreck was ten years ago. Should I stop carrying insurance?”

No, I said no mission our soldiers were assigned since WW II was relevant to America’s safety. You were boasting about your actions in defense of American citizens’ lives-while defending the killing of thousands of innocent American citizens every year-, I thought I should put in perspective the real usefulness to American citizens of the missions our uniformed men have been assigned since WW II. You were the one who changed subjects, I just followed your lead. As an aside, the WW I veterans (including one Adolf Hitler) in the Nazi movement could-with much more reason than you can-make the same point and play the same card: they had (in WW I) done more than their enemies to protect Germany. Ready to give them “carte blanche”?

“The 2A wasn’t written for the time period between 1945 and 2013.”

As I pointed out, the 2A was written to further American defense (as the words “well-regulated militia” and “A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State” bear witness). American military doctrine has had nothing to do with guerrillas since the Secession War days. It means only professional soldiers, under specific orders emanated from the command chain, have undeniable legal right to bear guns. The Founding Fathers went out of their way to state the reasons they were givig (white, male) Americans the right to bear guns. that is, muskets, not Kalashnikovs and Magnums. By the way, why not nuclear weapons? They are every bit as “arms” as any other “arm” the Founding Father also didn’t have in mind because they (the guns, not the Founding Fathers) had not been invented yet. The Founding Fathers stated as clearly as possible that ” to bear guns” is not one of the unalienable rights they were standing for, it was a practical military matter. I also must point out that our boys had much more problems with Iraqis’ guns than Saddam ever had in more than 20 years (so much for guns as tools against despotism). I also must point out to those who say dictators tend to take away their subjects’ guns (Saddam hadn’t) that, if permissive guns laws were an antidote to despotism, the aforementioned dictators wouldn’t be in power in first place, not to say be able of taking away other people’s guns.

“I’m sure you simply cherish our troops and hold them blameless for all the horrible violence you accuse me of supporting. Well, check this out: our troops went to war to defend our nation and Constitution. That means they defended the 2A that you hate so much. Too bad for you. The 2A is part of the USC and Bill of Rights.
If you don’t like it, go right ahead and advocate total overthrow of our government. Tell people how much you want to alter the Bill of (unalienable) rights.”

I hadn’t figured out unalienable rights are stated like the alleged unalienable right to keep arms is. You mean, if I were to state your unalienable right to keep your money, I should write something in this vein, “Chris keeping his money being essential to him giving it to me tomorrow, his right to keep his money shall not be infringed.” Wow, as unalienable as unalienable goes, I see. Seriously, would an “unalienable right” be preceded by such a mundane justification as the one our Founding Fathers advanced?

“And lo, tens of millions of good guys owned guns and never committed a single crime. But yea, those who hate the Bill of Rights blamed them for crimes committed by criminals. And God wept over the pure stupidity of their argument.” – Chris 5:17″

I see, the murdered ones voluntered to be disposed of… Are fewer wedgies (the definition of “violent crime” comprehends everything from “boys will be boys” fist-fights to armed robbery to torture to rape to murder, some of those things being much more important than others) more important than being four to twelve times more likely to be murdered by your own countrymen? Are you really saying human life is not important? By the way, America leads in rapes too, roughly the same numbers as UK minus Scotland- which sports much less frequent occurrences-, higher numbers than any comparable country.But maybe America doesn’t lead the world in nasty words, paper cuts and wedgies, I really don’t know.
Must I point out to you that when you are robbed , unfair and traumatic as it may be, you lose something, but, when you are killed, your beloved beings lose much more and you lose everything you had, everything you have, everything you could ever come to have-your past, your present and your earthly future? I don’t kow how to break the news, but you can’t take your money with you to the next life! Maybe it will lead you to some insights of your own concerning the seriousness of wedgies and paper cuts compared to homicides
“You understand by attempting to deny the ordinary citizen’s right to purchase weapons — BECAUSE of mass school shooters…”
Not only mass shooters-and you know that, even if you have elected to obfuscate the point- homicides, commited by the very people gun lobbyists enable-are much more common in American than mass shootings and are much more common in American than in ANY comparable coutry.
Small amount of firearm, LARGE in violent crime, Or really any other European country with anti-gun legislation in place — They all have -much- higher violent crime statistics.”
I got it, poor British, they are much, much less likely to be murdered or have their children murdered by their own countrymen… My heart goes out to them. What about the Germans, the Scandinavians, the French, the Japanese, the damn Indians, virtually all citizens of any civilized country? I still wait for an aswer. Are those European and Asian “socialist” Welfare States so great that human nature itself has changed and their citizens lost the urge to kill and rape their fellow countrymen? I am still waiting for a coherent answer: If not the generous supply of tools of evil, then why are Americans so keen on killing and raping their neighbors? Are we all a race of savages? Is the water we drink, the air we breathe? Don’t we value human life as much as snobbish Frenchmen, Hindu Indians and Shintoist Japanese do?
“I’m going to go ahead and cut you off there. If you aren’t even disputing the accuracy of the information then why would you call it a lie, if nothing else than to sling mud and attempt to call me a liar? ”
You and I know it is an implied lie. You were trying to compare America with countries facing civil wars and state collapse. You are trying to compare apples to oranges, I insist, why American homicides statistics are the outlier among the rich countries which share with us religious and moral roots, not to say outlook? But you can keep comparing American citizens to Colombian narcoterrorists if you will, you don’t have much of a choice if you are to keep pretending American homicide statistics are not shameful and not a predictable consequence of America’s permissive guns legislation.
“Once again, if you’re unarmed and unable to defend yourself, and your family, then you are helpless. You call it a lie yet refuse to address the underlying problem.”
The underlying problem is, the people you keep shilling for keep selling guns to the very people who keep killing thousands of innocent civilian Americans year after year. Let me say it again, we lose every year much more civilians on our own streets than we lost battle-hardned voluntary professional soldiers in Iraq in ten yeans fighting a treacherous, barbaric, relentless and armed (as an aside, all those guns did nothing to overthrown Saddam, but are being a good help to keep Iraqis killing each other- so much for the “guns will protect us from our own goverment crowd”) foe. The second problem (yours, not mine) is, countries with strict guns legislations have much, much less violent crime (defined as “things that really matter”) than America! Again, why? As H.G. Wells would say, “Aren’t we men?” Or as Shakespeare would have said, “O judgment! thou art fled to brutish beasts, and men have lost their reason.”

The vast majority of the murders you’re talking about are targeted; criminals killing criminals, and domestic abusers killing their partners. Those murders do not increase the chances that Joe Regular Guy will be shot down in the street.

Your comment about “no government since ww2 has been tyrannical” is true and pointless. The 2A wasn’t written for the time period between 1945 and 2013. It’s forever, for the time when it’s needed. I’ve had car insurance for the last ten years, even though my last wreck was ten years ago. Should I stop carrying insurance?

By the way, we didn’t wreck anything in the Balkans. I lived there for 18 months. All that slaughter wasn’t because of anything we did.

I’m sure you simply cherish our troops and hold them blameless for all the horrible violence you accuse me of supporting. Well, check this out: our troops went to war to defend our nation and Constitution. That means they defended the 2A that you hate so much. Too bad for you.

If you think passing gun control laws will reduce gun crime, you don’t know criminals very well. Do you think they’ll all turn in their guns?

And yeah, keep throwing biblical quotes at me. That really highlights the logic of your argument.

You cite homicide rate while I am citing OVERALL VIOLENT CRIME. This means assault, armed robbery, anything that involves using violence or the promise of violence to commit crime.

Now, I consider overall violent crime a somewhat more important statistic because I believe in living in a voluntary society. You don’t have to kill someone to do something wrong and something that should be repelled by a justifiable application of force, lethal if necessary.

“Lie Number 3: “The United States isn’t in the top 5. The United States isn’t even in the top 10.”
Irrelevant unless you think–”

I’m going to go ahead and cut you off there. If you aren’t even disputing the accuracy of the information then why would you call it a lie, if nothing else than to sling mud and attempt to call me a liar? Please, attempt to form a rational argument BEFORE your fingers touch your keyboard.

“Lie Number 4: ” The majority of them do. The result? There’s very, very little violent crime in Switzerland.” There is very little violent crime (compared to American standards, at least)in most developed European countries, singling out Switzerland is astonishingly dishonest and disingenuous.”

I singled out Switzerland because they have the most similar gun legislation to the United States than any other European country. You’re only AIDING my argument that guns aren’t the problem if I bring the UK: Small amount of firearm, LARGE in violent crime, Or really any other European country with anti-gun legislation in place — They all have -much- higher violent crime statistics.

“Lie Number 5: “Once again you’re assigning blame and evil intent to people who have literally done nothing wrong.”
Said the guy who blames those who don’t go around irresponsibly brandishing guns for the crimes of those who do!”

I have no idea what made you think this was a bright or intelligent thing to type.

You understand by attempting to deny the ordinary citizen’s right to purchase weapons — BECAUSE of mass school shooters…

You’re doing exactly what you’re attempting to accuse me of? Very simply, please try to form a coherent, rational argument and READ MY POST out loud to yourself so that you do not misread any of my points again and continue to waste my time.

Really? How does that mindset compare to the “lie about American homicides statistics”(read Stephen’s post, for instance) your position seems to welcome? Which “mindset” bothers you and which mindest you welcome both tell more about your position than you probably would rather let out.. I don’t need a “God says so” mindset to be able to read crime statistics, but I need to know what God says about those who shed their brothers’ precious blood. In vain, the wicked try to elude the holy voice saying ” What hast thou done? the voice of thy brother’s blood crieth unto me from the ground.”
“Apparently you misunderstand. The right to bear arms gives us a means, among other things, to defend ourselves against murders.”
That alleged right is the real reason evil-doers have an almost infinite supply of tools of desctruction to choose from That alleged right is the reason America is the most violent country among all rich countries. That alleged right is the reason a random American is 12 times more likely to be murdered than a Japanese citizen. American homicides statistics are only surpassed by the ones of veritable African and South American hellholes.
“Weapons ownership and right to carry has increased nationwide while gun homicides have fallen dramatically.”
Those small variations (none of them significant enough to make American statistics something other than a disaster) are probably due to other factors (NYC under Giuliani experienced a dramatic fall in the violent crimes department even if there wasn’t significant increase in firearms ownership there). Now, what is more likely, that among all rich peoples Americans are the only savages, monsters uniquely predisposed to murder their brothers or that our uniquely permissivinesss concerning firearms gives the few evil-doers among us the opportunity they need to commit the crimes they want?
” I’ve been a cop and gone to war to defend our people’s lives, and I’m fairly certain I’ve taken more actual, physical action to defend the innocent than you have.”
As far as I understand, one can do good deeds in a field and bad deeds in another one. The Red Army both protected Soviet soil and citizens against Nazi agression and helped round ethnic minorities up (Germans and Chechens for instance) and enslave Eastern Europe. By the way, you’d have a tough job proving any enemy our goverment manufactured since WW II has ever posed a real threat to America lives. When they do- like the Taliban, the terrorists our leaders helped in the past because, according to Reagan, they were the Muslin version of our own Founding Fathers-, we are subject to diversionary sideshows: Mr. bin Laden is elusive? Let’s pretend atacking Iraq will protect us from terrorist atacks. Don’t get me started on Clinton’s nation building (and nation destroying) in the Balkans. I mean no disrespect at all to our brave soldiers, they fulfill the missions they are given and they are the best in the world in what they do, but the missions they are usually assigned since WW II have had precious little to do with protecting American lives. By the way, have I mentioned the we lose three times more civilians on American streets every year than we did American professional soldiers in almost ten years of a war against treacherous fanatical militias in Iraq? What does it say about the kind of life we are forcing our children to live (if they are lucky enough to live)? What does it say about the nation we have become? Why are we patroling the streets of the world when we can’t ensure the safety of ours?Why are we bringing “freedom” to peoples who never asked for that and have no idea what it means when at home our children lack the inalienable righ to live?
“It is not “treason” to believe in the US Constitution and Bill of Rights.”
The original intent (interstingly, enough the cherished idea of original intent gone with the wind the second neocons saw how much money guns lobbyists have at their disposition) is clear: people can only keep firearms as far as it furthers American military position. American military doctrine has had nothing to do with guerrilla and individual firearms possession since the Secession War days. Our Founding Fathers went out of their way to clearly state why they were granting Americans (white male land owners Americans, I mean ) the right of carrying firearms (muskets, not Colts, Kalashnikovs and Magnums): their belief in the strategic advantages of a “well REGULATED Militia”, not their belief in the inalienable right of every loon to play god with the lives of their brothers.
“If every gun company ceased to exist today, we would still have the right to bear arms.”
But that fake right would be protect by a much less formidable wall of money. Consequently, American citizens would be safer.

Unless your comments undergo a drastic change, this will be the last time I respond to you. Your posts are perilously close to incoherent rants reinforced by a “god says it so I can’t be wrong” mindset.

The individual right to bear arms has nothing to do with the gun industry. If every gun company ceased to exist today, we would still have the right to bear arms.

It is not “treason” to believe in the US Constitution and Bill of Rights.

The right to bear arms actually keeps children alive. Weapons ownership and right to carry has increased nationwide while gun homicides have fallen dramatically.

Guaranteeing that children, or adults, will be helpless, unarmed victims, gathered in schools or malls for a murderer’s convenience, does not improve the safety of those children.

“I insist, if those who defend the murder of Amerian citizens-in order to allow guns sellers to make a killing, literally- had a solid moral. logical case, would they have to resort to blatant lies?”

Yes, all this time I’ve been defending the USC I’ve actually been defending murders. Right.

Apparently you misunderstand. The right to bear arms gives us a means, among other things, to defend ourselves against murders. I’ve been a cop and gone to war to defend our people’s lives, and I’m fairly certain I’ve taken more actual, physical action to defend the innocent than you have.

Concerning homicides, it is safer being Indian or Greek than American! Thanks to the guns lobby, we live under a Sword of Damocles, a random American is 12 times more likely to be murdered than a random Japanese, four times more likely than a random UK denizen (still, shills tell us those poor British have it much worse than we have!). Which kind of “freedom” is that which has our country slave of fear? How come “gun rights” shills never mention the unalienable right to life of those tens of thousands of victims of gun violence -specially children (well, they don’t contribute much to political campaigns, they probably deserved to be murdered anyway…) You favor the kind of system that has claimed much more American lives than any terrorist group is likely to ever do. More lives, every year, than bloody Antietam. How can it not be treason? How can keeping American civlians living under civil war conditions not be per se a war crime against our people? It is time to fully follow the spirit of the Second Amendment and limit the possession of firearms to those who have the legal duty to carry them. It is time to put Justice over Vengeance, it is time to punish swiftly and severely those who keep feeding the industry of death.
I insist, if those who defend the murder of Amerian citizens-in order to allow guns sellers to make a killing, literally- had a solid moral. logical case, would they have to resort to blatant lies? Would they have-to justify their hatred and greed- to lie about American homicides statistics (those poor British…), would they have to lie about those who stand against the lobbyists’ power, would they have to keep pretending American violence is not a side effect of America’s suicidal permissivinesss concerning firearms? I doubt it. America will rise again.

No. I don’t blame people who want to prevent crime for those who commit crime. I do blame people who want to make everyone helpless victims for facilitating mass crimes against helpless victims.
